The PerioStar 3000 from KerrHawe sharpens hand scaling instruments, maintaining their original sharpness and geometry.

This means that the life expectancy of the instrument will be improved as very little material is removed throughout the speedy sharpening process, thus saving further expenditure on expensive new instruments.

According to the company, hand scalers show the first signs of bluntness after just 10-15 strokes and this can be the start of hand-fatigue related illnesses such as carpal tunnel syndrome. A demonstration video of the Periostar 3000 is available free of charge.
